Our Mission

The mission of the Kapiʻolani Health Foundation is to improve the health of Hawaiʻiʼs people through funding of medical care, equipment, health education and research at Pali Momi Medical Center and Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children.

State-of-the-Art Technology, With a Personal Touch: Pearl City resident, Marlan Nashiwa chose Pali Momi for treatment since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. At Pali Momiʼs Womenʼs Center, every woman receives a long-stemmed rose after her appointment. Marlan looks forward to hers at every visit. “I really appreciate the rose – I even bring a cup of water with me to put it in for the short ride home. Little touches like this make me feel comfortable.”
